I think Stephen must get fed up of these morning tv type interview, they tend to ask the same questions.
They do! why do they do that? I understand that new fans come into the fold and have never heard the stories. But come on! They are insulting.

I thought everyone we have seen interview him up to this point (there are still a couple I haven't seen -- The View and Colbert) have been vapid and embarrassing. They almost treat him like some silly joke.

Stephen, of course, is always courteous and affable. He is a patient scholar and gentleman when dealing with the public and these interviewers.

But, one minute they're hawking fermented skin care that if we order today we can save 10% -- and the next, they want us to see them as respected journalists -- practically yawning behind their hands and figuratively rolling their eyeballs and phoning it in when talking to one of the most successful writers of all time.

Okay. I'm a bit scratchy. I just don't think they give him the respect and the courtesy of actually doing some research to ask some new and improved questions.

I would really like a serious journalist to interview him. Not a fan boy or girl. Barbara Walters. I want Barbara Walters to interview Stephen.

DAMMIT! I want to know what kind of tree Stephen would be. (Okay, vapid. But son of a b****! at least it would be something different.) . Wait. Has he already been asked this? What was the answer?

Moderator -- could you please ask Stephen what kind of tree he would be?

He did great on The View. Looked happy and relaxed. Has a nice rapport with Whoopi. Megan managed to ask the "idea" question about The Shinning. Missed the GMA segment.
Yes, you could feel the respect she had for him and his body of work. I mean, I don't expect people to bow in his presence, but it's nice to see someone who truly understands his value in history.

I noticed the personal trainer bit, too. I've never seen The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, but could imagine that being a fitting stereotype of contestant.
I think I've watched maybe one or two episodes of The BAcherlor when it first came on. When these shows were brand new things. It bored me quickly. BUT, when Flava Flav and Bret Michaels each did a similar type show, I was on board all the way! That was a friggin' train wreck and so entertaining!
